Homonym: beaters (Mixing)
Beaters are tools used in cooking and baking to mix ingredients. They come in various forms, including hand-held whisks and electric mixers. Beaters help incorporate air into mixtures, making them lighter and fluffier, which is especially important for recipes like cakes and meringues.
In addition to their culinary uses, the term "beater" can also refer to a type of vehicle, often an older or less expensive car. These vehicles are typically used for everyday tasks and may not be in perfect condition, but they serve their purpose for transportation without the need for luxury.
